capital of the land, when inclofed and cultivated, 

 including buildings, fences, crops, hve flock, imple- 

 ments and furniture, would amount to 15I. per acre, 

 or one million five hundred thoufand pounds. 



The addition to the national capital, by fuch gene- 

 ral inclofure and improvement in this county, would 

 amount to one million four hundred and fifty thoufand 

 pounds. This land alfo wotild make many farms, 

 which, with a due proportion of labourers' tenements, 

 would employ a population of twenty thoufand perfons^ 

 children and families included, in cultivation and 

 other occupations connefted and dependent there- 

 upon; would furnifh food for double that number^ 

 and would maintain alfo at leafl: double the prefent 

 number of Jheep, if iheep flock fliould become the 

 chief objeft, independent of other flock, which at 

 prefent draws no nourifliment or fubfiftence from 

 this traft. Thofe farms alfo would produce a pro- 

 portion of corn: the wool alfo of the flieep might 

 be increafed in weight, and improved in quality, by a 

 due attention to rams and breeding flock. A general 

 inclofure and improvement by cultivation of all the 

 wafles in the kingdom would by greatly increafing the 

 national capital^ and have a proportionable cff'cd upon 

 the revenue; and it is ajlonifyng that the colonization of 

 difiant countries fhould have beenfo much encouraged, 

 zuhile the cultivation of our own country remains fb 

 far from being fniJJjed cr perfected.
